    LEE JAFFE “LEGALIZE IT” September 8 - October 6, 2012 OPENING RECEPTION Saturday, September 8 from 7 to 10 PM Dem Passwords is pleased to present, "Legalize It," a photo and video exhibition by Lee Jaffe. ! ! Bronx born Jaffe's narrative unfolds out of filmmaking, performance and conceptual art into music and photography through the lens of an itinerant activist insider. Politicized as a product of the Vietnam War and Civil Rights era and in league with a transgressive milieu of artists extending from the United States to the Caribbean, down to Brazil and overseas to West Africa, Jaffe has hewn a path for rebel expressionism into and outside of the mainstream since the late 1960's. ! From 1972 to '76 Jaffe traveled with and contributed to the energy of the Reggae music explosion led by Bob Marley and company. What remains is their spirit embedded in images rich in modern celebratory energy, ordered by Jaffe's rural topophilia, but more exotic for their rawness.!Peter Tosh!rides a donkey. Bob and Peter hang out by a window in a long-take video. Peter poses in a red clay ganja field. These are young men in touch with a dangerous energy that at the time these images were captured, was only beginning to manifest.! ! The 1974 international breakthrough of "Natty Dread" crystallized their contemporary impact, fertilizing the marketplace for Tosh's solo output and the advancement of their revolutionary politics.! ! Jaffe's collection captures Peter Tosh in the Spring of '76 just months before the release of his now classic debut solo album “Legalize It”,! 11 years before his assassination.! ! "…the divine spirit that we was born and raised with, it teaches us to multiply nothing with nothing and get something.

    Pain%ng to Survive, 1985-1995 Curated by Jonathan Weinberg, ar%st and art historian The Brooklyn Waterfront Ar%sts Coali%on, April 2018 Jane Bauman Lee Jaffe John Bradford Stephen Lack Suzan Courtney Marc Lida Jean Foos Michael O@ersen Joel Handorff Jonathan WeinBerg Richard Hofmann Pain&ng to Survive ​focuses on a group of painters who responded in complex ways to the AIDS epidemic and the Culture Wars of the Reagan and Bush years. The children of the so-called “Greatest GeneraNon,” these arNsts either grew up in New York City, or came to the Metropolitan area with a sense of great opNmism. Although the city was undergoing enormous economic upheaval in the 1970s, rents were cheap and there was an explosion of possiBiliNes in Lower Manha@an for young arNsts to make and show work. But the collapse of the East Village art scene and the devastaNon of the AIDS epidemic cast a pale over many of their careers. In the case of Hofmann and Lida, AIDS ended their life too early. The loss of so many friends, family and colleagues to the disease traumaNzed those who lived on, even as it Became more and more difficult to jusNfy large scale emoNve painNng in an art world that increasingly valued parody, appropriaNon and minimalism over expressionism. Yet these arNsts kept painNng with marvelous results. This exhiBiNon provides a chance to reassess this work Both in terms of its formal qualiNes and as a form of sanctuary in hard Nmes. For all of these arNsts painNng was a means of expressing anger and mourning, But also qualiNes of Beauty and harmony; a generosity of form to comBat a society that seemed at Nmes heartless and indifferent.

    EVA PRESENHUBER Press release June 2019 Lee Jaffe Jean-Michel Basquiat June 28 to July 26, 2019 39 Great Jones Street, New York, NY 10012 Opening on Thursday, June 27, 6 to 9 pm Lee Jaffe’s music career was almost over before it began. Following his decision to drop out of Penn State University before his senior year, Jaffe’s band had their musical equipment stolen before they ever played a single show. Musically inclined from an early age, one of Jaffe’s lifelong goals was to play the harmonica alongside Muddy Waters. Despite this goal never being realized Jaffe says with a laugh, he’s now content with the musical accomplishments that are on his CV—band member, Bob Marley and The Wailers. Jaffe met Marley at a hotel in New York in 1973 where he was visiting his friend Jim Capaldi after his group, Traffic, had performed in Madison Square Garden. Marley, whose band had just completed their first album for Island Records, had a cassette of the record and Capaldi insisted Jaffe hear it. It proved to be an epiphany. Marley’s label president, Chris Blackwell asked Jaffe if he would help to organize a North American Tour. Though Jaffe preciously considered a return to Brazil—where he had lived and collaborated with seminal Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica—Jaffe decided to accept the invitation and departed with Bob to Kingston. After a ten-day stay with Marley, who introduced Jaffe to all of his associates, Jaffe decided to remain in Jamaica. The chance encounter led him to witness the evolution of the Wailers from local heroes to global phenomenon—eventually recording on Bob’s third Island Records album, Natty Dread and performing live on the supporting tour.

    Interview with Aston “Family Man” Barrett Jas Obrecht

    INTERVIEW WITH ASTON “FAMILY MAN” BARRETT JAS OBRECHT, FEBRUARY 14, 2011 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN I want to thank you for agreeing to talk with us. Yeah, man, it’s a pleasure for me too. I’m in the mood. I’d like to start by asking a question about your brother, Carly. Okay. Is it accurate to say that he was the inventor of the one-drop beat? Accurate. That’s da man. How did he come up with it? Well, you know, we always think of music, like the height of music. Robert said, “What is the heights of music?” Some people said soul music, some say classical, you know. We did a lot of research, and we realized that jazz is the heights of music. Jazz. So we decided to check out what jazz is all about, and we found out that it’s just a free-form music. So we decided to free-up ourselves [laughs], you know, encourage ourselves. And, of course, drums are the first instrument in music. You know, they used to use it a lot in Africa to send messages across the village and valley and city, everywhere. So what we do, we in-graft that kind of Nyabinghi communal and mix it with the Jamaica mento and then we decide to create that beat and feel it on the one-drop. And it become the heartbeat of the people. This is reggae. I and I are the architect of reggae. Is it true that your brother began playing on empty paint cans when you were children? Yes! And I started out on a one-string bass, which I made myself.

    Burnin’”—The Wailers (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Roger Steffens (Guest Post)*

    “Burnin’”—The Wailers (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Roger Steffens (guest post)* Original album Original label Bob Marley “Burnin’”: The Wailers’ Final Statement “Burnin’,” the resonant final album by the original Wailers trio of Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh, had its beginnings in Harry J's studio in Kingston, where all the basic tracks were laid. Mixing and overdubbing took place at Island Records’ Basing Street Studios in London during the spring of 1973, in between live dates the group played to support their critically-acclaimed first international release, “Catch A Fire.” “The album should have been titled ‘Reincarnated Souls,’ after a song I recorded for it,” recalls Bunny, “but because I dropped out of the group before it was released, the album was retitled ‘Burnin’,’ with ‘Reincarnated Souls’ used only as the b-side of an English single. We were coming to England on a mission.” He continues: We were going to establish Rastafarian culture and reggae music. So I knew that we had to have the Nyahbinghi drums so as to make the chant so that the people would understand that we had some foundation, that this music did not come out of nowhere. The drums had just been finished out by Six Miles [in Jamaica] by a guy named Ferry. The bass was made from the wood of the wine barrel and the funde was made from the trunk of a coconut tree. In late April ‘73, accompanied by these most rootical of instruments, the Wailers-- Bunny, Bob, Peter, keyboardist Earl “Way” Lindo, drummer Carlton Barrett and his bassist brother Aston “Family Man” Barrett (also known as Fams)--landed in the foggy chill of England.
